 Developer’s Image Library was previously called OpenIL, but due to trademark issues, OpenIL is now known as DevIL.
 
-DevIL is an open source programming library for programmers to incorporate in to their own programs.  DevIL loads and saves a large variety of images for use in a software developer’s program.  This library is capable of manipulating images in various ways and passing image information to display APIs, such as OpenGL and Direct3D.
